Trucker Movie - International Drive and Deliver


If you’re looking for a trucker movie that captures all of the romance, hardship, and truth of the road, short film Drive and Deliver is a DVD you should purchase for your next movie night.

Whether you want to compare your own life on the road to the truck drivers in Academy nominated director Brett Morgen’s newest film, or show your family how life on the road can be, this documentary is one that all truckers should see. Like a hot Hollywood movie, this documentary follows three truckers as they make their deliveries around the country. Just like you, these long-haul truckers have dreams and aspirations, families, and a unique relationship with their occupation. These truckers are willing to speak candidly about it all to truckers and non-truckers alike.

But this documentary isn’t just about the industry. Instead, it’s also about the truck—more specifically, the new Lone Stars by Navistar. In fact, Navistar is sponsoring the whole film. While some may dismiss this as shameless consumerism, the producers of the film and some of its viewers agree that the importance of the truck in the industry allows for its place as center sage in the movie.

For truckers, their families, and interested others, this documentary is worth viewing for a variety of reasons. First of all, truckers can compare their own experiences to that of the three truckers in the film. Whether they’re discussing their families or how they first got started in the industry, some truckers may believe the stories of these three icons mimics their own, while others might be shocked at the differences. Regardless, truckers can rest assured that this movie will stimulate discussion about their occupations among family members.

But for those who just take in movies about the music, Drive and Deliver carries quite an excellent selection of tunes, such as those from Lynard Skynard, The Marshall Tucker Band, and Hank Williams. Truckers who want to check out the new Lone Stars should also view the film, as several shots of the new truck can leave truckers ready to head to the dealership.

Now available on DVD, Drive and Deliver is a unique documentary that pairs real-life with real equipment to tell the stories of truckers to other truckers and their families. Whether you’re a long-haul trucker or a local driver, it’s definitely worth the watch.

I don't have a comment, I have a question. I have a "not for hire" 80K 5 axle rig that is used to cross the AZ/NV border for my business. I use it to haul equipment for pump testing (a large motor, pipe, cable, etc). Am I required to log my hours on the road and pay any kind of taxes - aside from the trip and fuel permits?
